Caddy Advanced EPA Wood Furnace

THE NEW GENERATION OF FURNACES

Known for its exceptional performance, the Caddy Advanced is a furnace that’s innovative design (patent pending) is surpassed only by its simplicity of use.

DISCOVER SELF-REGULATED COMBUSTION

The self-regulated combustion of the Caddy Advanced promises constant heat, while requiring minimal effort on your part; just fill the furnace, adjust the temperature and enjoy the heat for hours! The system automatically adjusts the air supply so that combustion is optimized and synchronized with the thermostatic demand.

  • At start-up, the furnace injects additional combustion air for easy and quick ignition.

  • As the furnace goes into heating mode, it automatically adjusts the combustion air supply and the operation of the convection blower. When your home’s desired temperature is reached (thermostat setting), the furnace goes into energy saving mode, automatically reducing the combustion air and speed of the convection blower.

  • At the end of the combustion cycle, if the furnace needs to go back to heating mode (thermostat setting), additional combustion air is injected again to activate the combustion of the embers thus providing a hotter burn on the end of the combustion cycle.

EASE OF USE

Use the Caddy Advanced with confidence thanks to its intuitive operation and illustrated quick user guide. Equipped with a glass door allowing you to easily monitor the state of combustion, the furnace optimizes its combustion cycle: you will spend much less time taking care of it vs a conventional furnace (loading wood, adjusting the air, etc.). This optimization also ensures you substantial savings in firewood as well as increased comfort thanks to the production of constant heat throughout the combustion cycle.

UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE

Among the most efficient furnaces in terms of energy distribution, the Caddy Advanced has one of the lowest minimum burn rates in the industry. This means a load of wood burns longer, and therefore reduces the frequency of wood loading. Emissions on this unit are amongst the cleanest of the few EPA 2020 certified furnaces, and yet the Caddy Advanced is among the most energy efficient on the market. In addition, the new ECM motor blower option consumes 40% less electricity (and much quieter) than a standard PSC motor blower.

QUICK AND FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION

The Caddy Advanced is equipped with pre-wired electrical components that allow for simplified and intuitive connection. For more flexibility, you can install the filter supports on either sides and on top of the blower box to adapt the layout of the ventilation ducts to your space. In addition, the add-on configuration allows you to install the Caddy Advanced with your existing electric, oil or gas central heating system to take advantage of an alternative energy source.

The Caddy Advanced includes a tool set and wall support, an ash lip, a thermostat, a moisture reader, a barometric damper and a fresh air intake adapter.

ALTERNATE SOURCE OF HEAT

Always have an alternate source of heat to ensure the comfort and safety of your family. The Caddy Advanced comes in two different configurations: wood-only and wood add-on furnace.

When installed as an add-on furnace, only a series configuration is approved for Canada. In the United States, both series and parallel configuration are permitted.
